A pristine accession of an outstanding Syrian cannabis landrace.

Syria is region deeply connected with sacramental cannabis culture – from legends such as the Assassins to the radical anarchist mysticism of the original Qalandar dervishes.

This Syrian landrace provides a positive, inspiring high. Its blissful effect combines with a feeling of mellow, physical relaxation.

Very fast-flowering and sharing characteristics with Lebanese, Egyptian, and Turkish types, this is one of the finest Near Eastern landraces.

Dominant aromas are typically intense fruit scents with a tangy candy sweetness.

Architecture is semidwarf, with compact inflorescences and heavily branching much like a classic Indica.

Very early maturing, Syrian can go into flower at around 18 hours daylight – a trait known as ‘semi-autoflowering’. Even in North America, this landrace can finish in early September.

As expected for a hashish domesticate, chemotypes range from THC- to CBD-dominant.

This is a hardy strain that’s adapted to a desert climate of hot days and cold nights. Plants require light nutrient regimes and benefit from being given a dry period between watering.

Recommended to collectors, particularly because Syria is likely to remain inaccessible for the foreseeable future. Huge potential for breeding projects.

NOTE: These seeds are from an ex-situ maintenance grow. The original seeds were not obtained by The Real Seed Company directly from Syria, but came via a collector who obtained the seeds from a European genebank.
